"It was never easy for Gould to find partners who could share his curiously angular vision of the composer's work, but for the six Sonatas for Violin and Keyboard he had a meeting of the minds with violinist Jaime Laredo that is vividly preserved in this series…. On the same CDs, we have Gould's collaboration with cellist Rose on Bach's three sonatas for viola da gamba and harpsichord. Although Rose seems to have found some of Gould's ideas strange, he responded with a professionalism and willingness to accommodate that still sound impressive."—Washington Post

The playing of Canadian virtuoso Glenn Gould provokes myriad reactions, from disquiet to awe. Seldom is there indifference. He is celebrated for his revelatory Bach interpretations, yet he cherished the music of the Renaissance, was stupendous in recordings of Beethoven concertos, and championed music of the 20th century. These well-annotated new editions combine his recorded legacy in exciting ways and add to the luster of a reputation that continues to shine, many years after his death.
